Areea's P.O.V

Logan and I arrive outside Terry's apartment. I toot the horn loudly getting yelled at by one of her neighbours, Logan and I just laugh.

A few minutes later Terry ran out of the building and into the car.

"Hey! Make us late much?" I ask lightheartedly.

"Sorry I was eating! And then I spilt my milk because of your guys tooting! Haha" she explained as I drove off to the party laughing.

Not long after we arrived at the Why Don't we house and dawdled inside.

"Hey, Logan!!" The boys chorused as we entered the living room.

"Hey Areea, Terry!" Jonah said realising we were here too.

"Heyo!" I answered as Terry starred outside to the pool.

"Can we jump in the pool?" Terry asked memorised.

"If you insist!" Jack yelled and threw her over his shoulder running out to the pool. Terry bounced along struggling to get free.

"NNOOO MY PHONES IN MY POCKET!!!" She screeched.

"Give it to me!" I yelled as Jack took it out of her pocket and handed it to me after he did he ran closer toward the pool.

"AHHHHHH-" Terry's scream was silenced as she hit the water after flying off his shoulder.

"JACK!!" She screamed as she came up out of the water, wiping her eyes.

"Hahahaha!" We burst out into laughter as everyone was now outside.

"I'll get you back!" She pronounced as she got out of the pool her clothes socked.

"I feel like jack needs a hug?" Zach suggested a smirk forming on his face.

"I think your right!" I agreed, catching on to what he was trying to do.

"OH JACKY!!!" Terry yelled running towards him.

"Ah!" He screeched as he stumbled trying to run, Terry was faster and caught him quickly.

A few minutes later everyone had gotten into the pool, I decided to sit on the side of the pool in my swimsuit. Which luckily we brought with us.

"Hey," Logan said swimming up to me, standing up in front of me. He put his hands on the outside of my thighs in a warm gesture making me giggle slightly.

"Hey, this has been fun," I said listening to the small conversations between many people around the poolside and the music blasting through speakers sat around the area.

"Yea, you ok you seem a bit pale?" He asked rubbing my legs with his hands.

"Yea, I'm ok just a little uptight about everything that's happening," I told him sighing.

"Hey you'll be fine and this is the time to relax and have fun!" He said, his voice mellowing out as I focused on his warm hands on my hips now.

"Yea I guess your right," I said as I moved my focus to his eyes, we sat there for a while the pool emptying of people in that time.

"I'm going to go get changed," Logan said as I noticed everyone was out of the pool and inside, Corbyn standing by the stereo on his phone, a red solo cup in his other hand, being the only one in the yard.

As Logan left I got up and Corbyn walked over to me. 

"Hey... Anne can I tell you something?" He asked.

"Yea sure!" I answered as he took a step closer.

"Your... really beautiful..." He said placing his hand on my cheek.

"Umm thanks?" I said weirded out a little, Corbyn was my friend, not anything more?

"Do you feel the same?" He whispered in my ear coming even closer, a strong sent of alcohol traced his breath. He was drunk.

"Uhh, Corbyn let's just go inside?" I say trying to step away, his arm wrapping around my waist stopping me from going anywhere.

"Come here, baby." He sighed and pressed his lips against mine vigorously.

"Corbyn!" I tried to scream but was muffled by his slobbery kisses, I tried to get away from him and push him off me but he was stronger than me.

I started remembering the night in the alleyway.

Logan's P.O.V

I walk around the house looking for Areea. She still hasn't come back inside. I think as I hear a muffled scream from outside.

I rush to the glass sliding door looking out into the yard and see Corbyn kissing Areea, she seemed to be struggling.

I was filled with anger he knew I had feelings for her! I've told him! Why did I tell him! I thought I could trust him!

"CORBYN! WHAT THE FUCK?!?!" I yelled opening the door and running outside towards them. I pulled him off of Areea, she fell to the ground.

"ARGH!" Corbyn grumbled.

"Areea! I'm sorry are you ok?" I helped her off the ground pulling her toward me protectively.

"Logan!" She hugged me tightly her voice shaky.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!" I yelled at Corbyn.

"Go do some chin-ups or something Logan!" He raised his voice and grabbed Areea's arm from around me.

"NO!" Areea said yanking her hand from him.

"Can't I just get the girl for once Logan! You always get the girl! Now it's my turn!" He screamed at me.

"Corbyn your drunk! Shut up!" Areea yelled.

"You know how I feel about Areea!"I yell back at him, remembering when I told him I had feelings for her, why would he do this knowing I liked her more than a friend?!

"Yea I know and you don't know how I feel about her!" He screamed back at me.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Areea raised her voice bravely.

"Forget it!" Corbyn yelled shoving me sideways into the pool, Areea still hanging on to me as I hit the water.

Areea's P.O.V

The sting of cold Chlorinated water hit the side of my body, I tried to gasp for air instead I took a gulp of water, which stung my throat.

I felt Logan's body flailing around in the water with me. His hands trying to grab me as I struggled to surface.

I felt a cold hand grab my leg and pull me away from Logan.

I kicked and tried to scream, Logan quickly grabbing my shoulders and pulling me towards him.

I feel both sets of hands let go of me and a massive rush of bubbles and waves appear beside me. The force pushing me to the bottom of the pool, a sharp pain thundered in my head as I hit the bottom and I slid into darkness.
